War in the time of Covid.

A nursery rhyme.

( to be read in 1/2 time whilst marching and taking big breaths to calm down!)

The tanks come marching 2x2 — hurrah, hurrah.

The tanks come marching 2x2 — hurrah, hurrah.

The tanks come marching 2x2 — a Sergeant stops to tie his shoe,

and they all come marching down to Ukraine

Terror reign. In the rain.

Boom, boom boom.

The tanks come firing 3x3 — hurrah, hurrah.

The tanks come firing 3x3 — hurrah,hurrah.

The tanks come firing 3x3 — the Western elite shin up a tree

and Russians keep marching down

On Ukraine. Terror reign with much pain,

Boom, boom, boom.

The tanks come crushing 4x4 — hurrah,hurrah.

The tanks come crushing 4x4 — hurrah,hurrah.

The tanks come crushing 4x4,

Putin gets out and slams the door.

And the news shrieks silent to the deaf in power,

In cocoons, in a tower.

Boom, boom, boom.

The tanks come triumphant 5x5 — hurrah, hurrah.

The tanks come triumphant 5x5 x hurrah, hurrah.

The tanks come triumphant 5x5

there’s no one here left alive

to see Putin standing high, in the sky

looking down on the Ruin.

Boom, boom, boom.
